10 Apr 2024 | Active Excursions
There’s nothing more exhilarating than packing a bag and heading off on an adventure that’s yours alone. At Aqua Expeditions, we cater to adventurous solo travelers with itineraries that range from hiking the dense rainforests of the Peruvian Amazon, swimming with majestic whale sharks in East Indonesia, biking through rice paddies in Cambodia, or exploring the diverse wildlife and terrain of the ancient Galapagos Islands. Here are the best places in the world to travel solo!
Explore the Peruvian Amazon rainforest
Life’s too short not to book some me time and head to South America to explore the biodiverse rainforests and rivers of the extraordinary Peruvian Amazon. Expertly planned 4-or 7-night itineraries aboard Aqua Nera and Aria Amazon showcase the natural wonders of this ecologically unique region.
As you sail into the heart of the Amazon, discover rare species of wildlife, including pink river dolphins, spider monkeys, Amazon kingfishers, or even red-bellied piranhas. Safety is a top priority on any Aqua Expeditions voyage and you’ll be accompanied by expert naturalist guides on our daily, small group excursions.
Swim with whale sharks in East Indonesia
Enjoy the company of majestic, speckled whale sharks on your next solo adventure with Aqua Expeditions. This awe-inspiring marine experience is part of Aqua Blu’s cruises to remote and pristine East Indonesia. Destinations explored on our unforgettable 7- and 12-night sailing itineraries include Komodo National Park, Spice Islands, Raja Ampat and West Papua.
Tick swimming with whale sharks off your personal bucket list on a guided snorkel with these enormous gentle giants, found in the Coral Triangle. This expansive UNESCO protected area is one of the most diverse marine habitats in the world and home to seven species of marine turtle and over 2,000 reef fish.
Bike through rice paddies in Cambodia
One of the best things about solo travel is seeing the world at your pace, with the freedom of an itinerary that’s set to your personal interests. If freewheeling on a mountain bike through the rice paddies of Cambodia sounds like your kind of adventure, Aqua Expeditions’ Mekong river cruise offers expert-led bike tours in this historically and culturally rich country.
Along with its famed temples, Cambodia is emerging as a sought-after destination for cycling enthusiasts and it’s easy to see why – join a small, guided group cycle and gently explore the beautiful countryside, taking in rice paddy fields, bustling village life, and farmers going about their daily routines. If personal safety is a factor in your solo trip planning, rest easy knowing that Aqua Expeditions places the security of our guests at the top of our priorities.
Explore volcanic islands in Galapagos
The Galapagos archipelago is one of the best places to travel solo and single explorers are common in this extraordinary part of the world. Who would want to wait on someone else’s schedule to witness the UNESCO World Heritage Site for themselves?
Adventure is guaranteed aboard Aqua Expeditions’ superyacht Aqua Mare which offers daily opportunities for guests to come up close to endemic marine, plant and wildlife only found in these volcanic islands. Meet giant tortoises, Galapagos penguins, land iguanas, seals, flightless cormorants, blue-footed boobies, and Darwin’s finches – named after the famous evolutionist Charles Darwin, who formed his ideas on the island. Many of the creatures here are non-aggressive and can be observed from close range, as they haven’t learnt to see humans as a threat. If making friends is part of your travel plans, our Galapagos trips offer a fantastic chance to connect with other nature lovers.
Aqua Expeditions’ range of incredible destinations are some of the best places to travel solo, anywhere on the planet. Don’t wait for a crowd to form – mark your diary and join us on your next solo adventure! You may even form some amazing new friendships with other guests on board with the same adventurous streak. Whether it’s exploring the jungles and river systems of the Peruvian Amazon, cycling through rural Cambodia, sailing through the dramatic volcanic landscapes of the Galapagos Islands, or swimming with marine life in the East Indonesian islands – your adventure for one awaits!
